Oops, sorry. I seem to have solved it by converting the graphic to a different format. Originally I used: OvationPro version 2.76 !PrintPDF version 0.32 Graphic in TIFF format but since my original post I applied the patch to OvationPro so it is now version 2.77 and tried the graphic as a sprite. This time it has worked. Is it likely to be the TIFF format which caused the problem? Computer is Iyonix OS 5.09 -- Tricia Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener.
